Click on the numbers in blue for PDF files giving parish by parish breakdown and yearly coverage. I&#39;ve actually had the BVRI disc set for a while, but until recently had no idea of the sources for most of the records it contained.<br /><br />ChrisChris Patonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05073425769475523109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613007926512766729.post-9075709335624820132010-09-29T00:16:36.653+01:002010-09-29T00:16:36.653+01:00Couldn&#39;t agree more.

The Beta site has been improving, but the speed, simplicity, and let&#39;s face it, aesthetic feel of the current site make it feel like the right tool for the job - too much white space on the new site for my liking! There seems to be a lot of sites changing their looks for the sake of it recently, the BBC News site being a corker of an example.<br /><br />But yup, for those not used to the new beta site, a little exploratory play with it is probably due asap!<br /><br />ChrisChris Patonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05073425769475523109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613007926512766729.post-13808961337689422052010-09-29T00:08:32.634+01:002010-09-29T00:08:32.634+01:00I&#39;ve been occasionally using http://pilot.fami...I&#39;ve been occasionally using http://pilot.familysearch.org and http://beta.familysearch.org for a while now but keep on going back to good old www.familysearch.org as I seem to be able to find what I want quicker and easier, without wading through pages of results.<br /><br />Guess it&#39;s time I got to grips with FamilySearch Beta though!<br /><br />KirstyThe Professional Descendanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05558508787388848119noreply@blogger.com
